SIMPLE STRATEGIES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

2 SIMPLE STRATEGIES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES THAT SELL SERVICES

If you run a small business that sells any form of service, carry chair and come closer.

Maybe photography
Or Drycleaning
Or Bookkeeping
Or Data-Entry
Or House cleaning
Or Car wash
Or Make-up service
Or Real estate
Or Event center
Or Travel agency
Or Fashion designer
Or Event planner
Or Consulting
Or Auto repairs
Or whatever kind of service you provide

There are 2 very simple things you must ensure to do on this social media if you want to sell more.

Here you go:

1. Show and talk about your work often. Pictures, videos and a lot of talk about your work.

2. Make Offers often. Don't just show us your work, ask us to buy. Tell us the price. Tell us how to buy. Call us to action.

Many people fail at number 2.

They do Number 1 properly, but keep quiet to number 2. Chioma doesn't.

Every post I make, I include my price and how you can buy. Only for our family egg business I have kept quiet on making Offers because we are unable to meet demand.

Any service-based business owner who shows his work and continuously makes Offers will make a lot of sales.

Remember, for some services, you require the customer's consent to show the work.

Let me stop here.

I was listening to Apostle Michael Orokpo’s message recently where he shared a touching story of an overzealous young believer.

The young man used to work for him. A day came, he went to the Apostle to report that he will be going for NYSC soon.

In a bid to give him all the necessary support that will help me settle down, Apostle gave him ₦150,000 for his accommodation and ₦1 million to invest in any business of his choice when he’s fully settled.

After the one year compulsory service, Apostle was waiting to hear good news of how this young man’s business was doing but didn’t get any update.

When they eventually met, the young man excitedly told him that he used that one million seed capital he gave him to sponsor a Crusade in the community he was sent to serve.

He was expecting an applause from the Apostle but he got a rebuke. That money was a seed not the harvest.

Except the Holy Spirit specifically told you, not a third-party telling you, but you heard directly from Him and Him alone, your business capital is a sacred thing you MUST not touch.

There are so many things you don’t do and should not do with your business capital.

You don’t sow dangerous seed with your business capital.

You don’t sow your employees’ salaries as a seed.

You don’t loan someone your business capital.

You don’t play betting with your business capital.

You don’t put all your business capital in one business you are not too sure of. Even when you are sure, you need to be careful.

You don’t marry with your business capital.

You don’t take a chieftaincy title in your village with your business capital.

You don’t pay house rent nor build a residential home with your business capital.

You don’t buy land with your business capital.

Your business capital is sacred and must not be touched anyhow.

Your business capital is a seed. When you eat the seed, you will have no harvest and when you eat part of the seed, your harvest will be limited.

God will rarely ask you to give Him your business capital because He’s a God of principle. What God demands from us when it has to do with your using our finances for kingdom service is to include His work and servants in our financial budget/plan.

But some of you out of overzealousness, ego and as a victim of fake testimonies of miracle money has given out your business capital only to plunge into untold hardship and turnaround to blame God.

Giving out all the money in your bank account is not the same as giving away your business capital.

God will deliver you and give you a second chance but learn the lessons.
